Symbiotec Pharmalab IPO Offers Huge Gains to Early Investors
Symbiotec Pharmalab is planning to sell shares to the public through an IPO.
The IPO is expected to raise ₹1,757 crore.
Some of the money will go into the company, while much of the offering will let existing investors sell shares.
The proposed price is ₹988 per share.
Some early investors bought their shares much more cheaply, so they could make very large paper profits.
Satwani Holdings could make about a 1,900% profit on the shares it is selling.
Investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala invested in the company years ago.
His shares were later adjusted after a stock split and could be worth about ₹361 crore at the IPO price.
The shares are scheduled to list on the BSE and NSE on September 1.
Symbiotec Pharmalab’s ₹1,757 crore IPO is scheduled for bidding from August 24 to August 26.
The issue includes a ₹150 crore fresh share sale and an offer-for-sale of up to ₹1,607 crore.
At ₹988 per share, certain promoters would receive gains of about 260% within eight months.
Satwani Holdings is offering shares worth ₹144 crore, with a reported profit of about 1,900% based on its acquisition cost.
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s adjusted investment could be worth about ₹361 crore at the IPO price, representing a notional 45.6-fold increase.
